Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta I have just returned from a week in Augusta, to find a series of emails that were somewhat disruptive, swirling in an energy of confusion. It was very educational for me to see how gentle were most responses from Datta devotees. This alone spoke volumes. In a later email I found this...... LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 44 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "The ignorant, the man without faith, the doubting self, perishes. For one who has a doubting mind there is neither this world, nor the other, nor happiness." The man who does not know that the Supreme God is present everywhere and that he is a part of it is called ignorant. Such a man will have no faith in God or Guru or the holy scriptures. The man without faith becomes a doubter. Such a man suffers and perishes. The man who has doubts as regards the existence of God and in the words of the scriptures or Gurus will never subject himself to any sort of discipline either moral or spiritual. And as reactions of the negative actions of his undisciplined life assail him he remains ever unhappy in this world and is found to be so even after death. Therefore it is said that to a doubting soul there is neither this world nor the world beyond. There is no happiness for him. This lesson fron Sri Swamiji, helped me see that the disruptive email was in part a gift for me to see if I have any doubts and which areas need strengthening. Sri Guru Datta Love, Light, Peace....
